It was just after eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports results, waiting for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in West Rainton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in West Rainton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the normal problems which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
